Jeff Carlisle covers MLS and the U.S. national team for ESPN FC. Orlando City has acquired U.S. international midfielder Sacha Kljestan from the New York Red Bulls in exchange for attacker Carlos Rivas and defender Tommy Redding, multiple sources confirmed to ESPN FC. The Red Bulls also sent $150,000 in targeted allocation money (TAM) to Orlando along with their captain.

Sources confirmed that Kljestan signed a new, two-year contract with Orlando, though it is unclear at present if he will remain a designated player or if his salary will be bought down
